DLC's? Roadmap? Future of the game?

[Vudash]

Can you stop ghosting the community and tell us about the future of the game? why we have no news about it after RELIC's purchase? How about a roadmap? you were doing things right, the DLC seems to have been a success, why no more? will we have a DLC every two years or how does it work?

Do you think there will ever be an answer here? Do you think the developers will get off their high horse and listen to what the community wants and respond?
It's a one-way street.

developers?

All I see is artist spamming "seasonal" content and "seasonal" "challenge"
They are not fun

You know what is fun relic, some proper new content, like new map, new faction, new unit, new mechanic,

I hope we get more updates, I only played about 26 hours at this point but I can see a few bugs here and there. After they went "independent" and broke off from Sega, but are actually now owned by a massive investment company, and fired a ton of their staff, I really have no idea what we can expect for the future of this game.

A theory I have is maybe Microsoft will buy them out but I think Relic would refuse that. It would make sense since MS owns the AoE IP and the other two dev studios that work on AoE pretty much exclusively, Worlds Edge and Forgotten Realms. Owning Relic then consolidating the companies to focus on Age games seems like a possibly to me.

Nah, Relic will go bankrupt real soon. The investors can change their mind whenever they want or need. Therefore, the future of the Relic Ent is ruined. They are too woke. I hate the female transgender Khan. By the way, khan is male title for the rulers of the steppe people.

wait wym the khan is a female transgender?! This is satire right...

>2.5 years from initial release this game is still full of ♥♥♥♥. Garbage balance, worst QoL among RTS games, stupid bugs everywhere. Twitch watch # is consistently at ~300, and most of them have been watching a stupid rank 100 vs rank 10000 game. This IP is ruined.
There is no future for this game, nor for the retarded devs and designers in this stupid relic company.

I do. He is the one who still has influence, but he does not stream that much.

I wish it was but in general, you can safely ignore and laugh at people that try to use "woke" as a legit argument.

As for the real problem, I feel Microsoft really doesn't know how to promote their games as they essentially treat them like their office products i.e. they automatically assume that players will buy them anyway, or at best subscribe to Gamepass, much like Office has been available in a subscription for years now.
That's not an AoE 4 exclusive phenomenom, it also applies to AoE 3 and 2 as well and also to the rest of the MS gaming division. Just look how there was minimal to no marketing to Hellblade 2 prior to its release.
Games live by their interactivity, so as a developer/publisher you have to actively communicate with your playerbase.
I think Paradox Interactive are the best example there given how often they do Dev Diaries for the games they work on (HoI 4, EU4, Stellaris, CK3 and Vic 3).

I'd like to see some more unique civs added. Not all that interested in civ variants.

This game is on life support

pretty sad it never lived up to the hype, but thats what you get with games these days.

[BeefPudding]

i think the game just doesnt have a big team working on it, not that its dead.

its the third most played RTS and IMO its more enjoyable to watch/play than sc2. and people have been saying sc2 is dead for over 10 years lmao

Hoping for news tomorrow at the Xbox showcase
